What is the definition of 3 full academic years when counting immigrant children and youth?
Immigrant children and youth are students who were not born in any State and have not been attending one or more schools in any one or more States for more than 3 full academic years. Some States define an academic year as 9 months, while other States count an academic year as 10 months. If a student has been in different schools in different school districts and even in different States, the number of months that the student has been in school in any one or more States must not add up to a total of more than 3 full academic years.
